What's with people saying Yokai-Watch looks out of place?

[Jynx]

the Yokai-Watch weapons are new gear technically!.

As I said prior the "new gear" we get in the new dungeons is likely to be reskins of old gear now due to resources being put into these oddball items.

Now I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the people who want these or think they are cool or whatever. They just are certainly not my cup of tea and would have prefered they spent the resources elsewhere.

Level 5 did the designs and the FFXIV team modeled the weapons based on the art they got from Level 5, for what it's worth.

That's actually a really interesting bit of information I must have glossed over. I just wish they did a crossover event with something more my style but what can you do?

I think that part of the concerns is that visually they don't seem to mesh.

It is like they need 1 more set of shade/texture filters on them or something.

this. this is why.

It just looks so lazy and uninspired and vomit inducing.

This was obvious and yes you are extremely biased. I would venture a guess and say you didn't like FFXIII as well.

The FF series has always looked to it's past for inspiration

Inspiration = recycling?
And also, no, I don't mind XIII, don't go making assumptions about people you don't know on the internet.
All I'm pointing out is that those two enemies are part of XIII's world in XIV they are just here as Allagan technology because XIV dev team couldn't design their own monsters, stuff like Sephirot, King Thordan, etc are clearly homages.

And again, with people thinking I hate technology in FF games? Where's everyone getting this from?
I've stuck with the series for a long ass time, I don't care and I love sci-fi stuff in fantasy settings.

They recycled so many monsters from FFXI and other titles it was like having Deja vu. Mandragora and the crab models were recycled. The robots were from XIII, Dhamel are from XI, etc.

lol, they have been doing this from the get go, it's a staple of FF, and why I didn't bother responding to the OP.

Did she really just say things from other FF games were out of place in FF? OK....

Recycling monsters is a staple. Whole hog ripping the models from previous games isn't a staple.

Play any Final Fantasy game and monsters will look similar but rarely will they look the exact same. the FFXI monsters they recycle are clearly using the same skeletons and textures as their FFXI counterparts it's uncanny, the only thing they don't bring over is the mobs skillset they keep the move names sometimes but nerf the effects for the purposes of this game. Bommtoss for example is just a thing that does AOE damage now instead of something to be feared.

No? I don't remember too many Final Fantasy games that rip nearly everything from the previous game though.
Final Fantasy VI's entire bestiary was not in Final Fantasy V. Nice cherry picking though.

The whole point of this thread was to say that this Yokai watch stuff is nothing to get butt hurt about for being out of place because creatures from the last 3 games, some of them being a core part of some game's lore also appear as generic enemies and no one bats an eyelid. So no need to get upset over a throwaway event breaking your immersion.

That has nothing to do with her argument though. She was saying that those are out of place in this game, so childs cartoon weapons are ok as well. They aren't out of place because bringing back enemies is a staple of FF games. The reuse of models has no bearing on this discussion as far as I can see, and is better reserved for its own discussion.
